The lightning fell on Mr. Kiel's house at Monorgan, and did Can giderabk damage. One of the chimney tops was thrown down/and a great number of slates torn from the roof. Most of the windows were broken a nd shattered to pieces. The lightning ran along the bell-wires, and entered three bed-rooms,which it tirely dismantled. The back was driven from a elies t of drawers, and part of the cloth that covered them was burnt. The three maids, who were in the 11 ° 11 se at the - time,"made a narrow escape. , The O Q4 of one of them Was a little scorched.

He started at three o'clock, stopped twice on the road, and arrived at Ware ten minutes before seven ; after resting the time' allowed, he started afresh, and c ompleted the whole by half past twelve o'clock, winning his wager by half an hour: sevee.d bets were depending upon the issue.

COURT OF KING'S I4ENCH, fuLy LOVELL. ‘VALLER. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated, that IIlif; was an action brought by the plaintiff,. who was Pro w ietor of the Natesman Ne spatter, against the de lei,dant, a news-vender. The ground of the coin planit was, that the. defendant had substituted the .dy'red, another Evening Nest spaper, for the - States- Mall, in ins delivery to a subscriber, to the detriment of the plaintiff's property. He was aware that the present immediate injtiry was trifling, but there was no saying to what extent it might at leugih pro-. ceed, if toe practice complained of was persisted in. The value of a newspaper depended entirely on the extent of its circulation, and that circul Alan the con duct of the defendant went doubly to prevnt ; first by apositive injury to the paper itself, and next by the coMparative propagation of another. The States man had belonged to a number of proprietors, of whom the plaintiff was one ; disputes had arisen among them, the consequence of which•was the cession of the other proprietors, and the subsequent establishment of the Allied in opposition. It ap peared that in June, 1809, theplaintift .received an order from Mr. Horsley, a Gentleman residing at Canterbury, for 'the Siatesinan, which order he handed over to his news..vender, th e defvndant.--. The newsman 'wrote to Mr. Hor s ley for a referenc e , and in consFqnence the p per was regularly sent till the latter end of April following: 'atter that pe riod the Alfred was substituted. At first Mr. Horsley supposed it a mistake, but the practice con tinuing for some time, be; on fits coming to town on the t oth of May, 'called at the Stat e sman Office, and informed the proprietor. The proprietor im mediately Cfommunicated with the defendant, who made some slight and inefficient apology, but did not discontinue the Alfred. Horsley at last discon tinupd the newsman, and, took the paper direct from. the. Statesman Office.' Toe plaintiff only sought nominal damages, as his chief wish was to establish an example. The plaintiff's property in the paper was proved by the two first witnesses: Mr. W. f - I.)rsley proved the statement of the Attorney General ; and here the plaintiff' case be ing closed, Mr. GA BROW Submitted, that there was no 'evi dence to prove that the defendant had ever substi tuted the Alfred for the Statesman, whiCh was the main grievancecomplained Of. • Mr. Horsley . was again called, and deposed, that the envelope in which he bad received the Alfred was exactly similar to'the one in winch the States :man had been formerly, ;' he never gave an order to any one else for a newspaper. Mr. GARROW addressed the Jury _for the "defen dant. He contended that the plaintiff had no right to' recover against Waller. There was no privity whatever proved between him and the Alfred, nor was it at all subst,ntiated that he was the person who tad substituted the Alfred. If. there was room for a complaint' at all, it was rather to be exp,!eted from fl,rSley, Who had suffered the inconvenience, than from any one else. In order to render Waller liable, it ought to be proved that h e b ro k e his agree ment, but "to such thing wa6 done. The Alfred might even have been sent without his knowledge., It was frequently the case that, on the institution of a hewspaper, a ropy was sent gratis to various per sons w ho might be supposed capableof . supporting, its interests. This - he kneW was the east in the pre sent instance, as he had himself received an iiitrii dudory Oumber of the Alfred, in , which theie was die4er, whiten by Maio,- Cartwright he believed, on the subject `of the posse btli he 6661d n0t be certain, as the It.'arnej Major was in the habit of writing so lauch' on similar subj e d s Ii might have •happerieT that a' Copy. of the. Alfred might have been very innocently 'sent to Horsley, without .any reference whatever, to the Stati:sinao. " Lord: ELLENBOROUGU.-- , -" In • that 'case, you know, Mr. Gan nw, 'Mr. tibt sley must have received two papers, one StateSman and one Allied, but that 'does not appear.", Mr. GAltitokVadmireed it did not appear, but still he Contended the Stateimah was trvery likely 'paper to cause a * mistake in, the distribution". It- seemed, from one of the witnesses,, this .same Statesman was a very popular produdien, so 'fliatho doubt the moment its proprietor placarded his window with " •0. P. Mot," " Grand Pro Cession," 'or any other interesting sultjeet, the whole town would hitt to puichase a paper, and the newsman, on a dearth of the impression, would be obliged, on sUch.ocell.- sions, to substitute any other paper he, could obtain fur his country correspondents. • ' Lord ELLENBOLIOUGH, informed the Airy, that the only question they had to .try . wa s ; whether the Alfred had been substituted by the defendant.' It appeared ,the Stateman Was discontinued, and the Alfred sent in the same handwriting, and tinder a similar envelope, If they were Satisfied. of this tite'y would give a verdid for the plaintiff,, with nominal damages, which would Carry' costs.—Verdict Damages, 495.

TADDY AGAINST ,lOSE, FALSELY CALLING HER.- SELF TADDY. • This was a suit of uull►iy of marriage, promoted by the husband against the wife, by reason of minor rity, which was brought by Letters of Request from the Consisturial Court of Norwich.. It appeared that the pahies were married on the 6th of January in the present year, by license, at St. Peler's`church, in that city, (the husband being then under the age of I) without first,having ob tained the consent of his mother, whose husband died without appointing any guardian to his son. The Learned Judge (Sir JOHN'NI6HoLL), after hearing the evidence, and other necessary docu- ! meats .read, together with the arguments of Coun sel on both sides, observed, it was an extreme hard case, and very injurious to the young woman, who was only seventeen years of age at the time of mar riage, which marriage was consented to on the part of her parents, .but notwithstanding that, he was bound by law (having no 'discteiion in such a case) to pronounce for the sentence prayed, /it'd accord ingly pronounced the, Marriage to be owl and void. PRING AGAINST di/ All EY. This was originally a suit instituted in the Con sistorial Court of Bath and Wells, by John Currey against Mr. Pring, for smiting and - laying violent honlis on Thomas Curtey, the brother of lhe 1 5 1'0•!' nio'er, and-also (or brawling, quarrellink, or chid in,;, in the parish church HOrion Fitiwarroit. It appeared, that.on . the, Sabbath et the 28 h c3f - November. ign2, there being ty-tween forty and fury persons assembled in the chord), tbr ihe pur pose of hearing Divine Service, that Thomas Cur rey seated himself n a pew belonging to two other paris!noners, who endeavoured to rurwhiru out. A setae ensued between the, parties, when Mr. Pang, the then Churchwarden, came up (as alleged) and uscd very foul and indecorous lan,;oage, and added, " We will have no tightincr here ; it'y ou want to fight, go into the church-yanrd," which place; by the' statute of the 541) and thh of Edward the Fifth, was equally prohibited from such a transaction occurring in, and it was further enacted, that persons go ot fending against that statute (particularly the Church warden, whose duty it was io k ee p t h e peace d ur i ng Divine Service), was liable to be suspended. The Learned Judge wAs dearly of opinion, that the Churchwarden had not discharged his duty in so. stria and correct a manner as he ought to ha've done —that his condu& was very improi er on the occa sion ; , but under all the circuitis!anees and conside rations of the case, he should dismiss the defendant, and condemn hint in 401. costs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 17. EAVES V. DIXoN. This Was a horse cause, and occupied almost the whole of the day. The plaintiff and defendant were both liokse-dealers ; and the anion .A as brought fbr 371. the price paid for a horse warranted sound, but Which died of a dropsy about ten days ater the sale. This cause had been tried hefore; arid the plaiwiff, at the former nial, obtained a verdict. It was now t ied Itgain by a Special Jury. 'On the part of the plaintiff it was proved, that the horse was bought at 13Olfor. fair, and was warranted sound ; and that on its, being brought up towards London immediately after, it refused its ows ; and upon being visited the third day after tie sale, by a farrier in London, he immediately pronounced it to be ilea contir , ved dropsy, which he conceived must have ptoceeded twin a disorder in the burp, ante cedent to the sale. One witness, said, that the horse appeared dull in the eyes, and diseased be fore the sale. On the other hand it was . proved, for the defend ant, that the horse had no apparent disorder previ ous - to the Sale ; and a number of veterinary sur geons gave it as their opinion, founded on their ex perience, that nothing is more common than for horses, to die in the same manner, from.an inflam mation contracted a few days 'bdore their death ; and'some of them thought it thdre probAhle that the disorder, of which this hoMe died, had been con traled'since the'sale. • Sir J. MANSFI ELD recapitulated the evidence to the Jury, and qale s d that it. was incumbent upon. the Plaintiff to prove that the ! , or-e was unsound at the time be bought hhni It he lad failed in pr ving this to the satisfaction of the jury'„or that it should appear to them doribtfal whether' the' horse was sound or unsound at the tine of tile sale, he would then hav'e failed in proving his case„and the terdiCt should he for the det,'f•ciii, t: If, however, they had no doubt of the horse being unsound at the time of the sale, t! ey s :0 , LI Thelni), arer considering a few minutes, found for the delenniint. :Yesttrdoy morning his MAJESTY- and Princess AUGUSTA ',took their usual airing-on horSebrick in Windsor Park till one. o'clock.'

" JULY 5.—A heavy and incessant fire of mus ketry, in the diredion ot•Ciudad Roderigo,:has.been distinely heard by our out-posts during the . greater pat tof the night. It gradually ab,ted as the morn ing advanced, and ceased entirely about six &clock. It is suppused by some who have mare enthusiasm than prudence, that the garrison had lnade a sortie.; and by others, who calculate on the disparity of the numbers of the besiegers and the garrison, that an assault has been made by the f ormer, and gallantly and resolutely resisted by .the latter. This opinion is corroborated by the breach, which, in a former letter, I stated upon good authority to be eight yards in length and two in depth, which . .. considering the height of the parapet, and the facilities the - enemy p s,iess of procuring. fascines, is deeineJ practiCable. The result will be known in a few hours. , It is matter of surprise that the garrison, with such di lapidated walls, and w'retched outworks, should have held out so long against a force greatly superior in every resped.

The prosecutor stated, tl.at on the 24th of Pe• brtiary he was a servant in the employment of Col. Read, of Harley -street. About nine in the evening he was going down Oxford-street, to purchase some grocery for nis master, and as he walked along, he observed Goff, Clarke, and Itlinsay, standing to gel her ; they said something to lrm as he passed, to which he made no reply, but Went on to the gro cer's, from whence he proceeded towards Caven dish-square, where, having occasion to 'sma, R trn say came up, and after sortie triding'oasery ai us, ,seized him in a mo-t indecent manner, three:a...L/07 Jinn if he did not give'him 101. he v:oirli hate hrtZ taken up for committing an atrocious offence.

Witness at I.ogrit borrowed from a fellow-servant a one-pound no e, which he gave to them, and they then went away ; but G, and Clarke returned on the ensuing evening, and repeated their demands, adding, it they did not get the money, they would not let the pro-eeutor ternlin in that pla ,. e, or any other place in town. Wiine.3s, however, did not comply with their request, and they left the house.' In cerstsequence of these threats, wit ness was obliged to leave the, service of Lady CL.ar well, and 'went froni th \ ence to Lady Fordyce, wilt \Morn . he had before lived for a year and eight months. But here .again he was discovered by the prisbners, who repeated their threats. On the 261 of /April he met Hid in Holborn, who asked if he had got .any money for him.
